Having got problems looking at threads due to 0.135 meg band width i am lost with some comments/ links. ' BMW not motorcycles and Rennmax. Er Rennsport was a BMW and a motorcycle engine, infact the most successful sidecar engine ever used. So, confussed or just very tired from stupid working hours/ lack of sleep and vino. Me thinks the vino is to blame.

Kevin,

I was thinking of BMW's top seller over here

which seems to be the winner in the 'who can build the ugliest device' competition

My experience with BMWs reflects the rides on a R75/5 now and then, I recall a poor front brake, inert engine, clonking gearbox, wobbly roadholding caused by the extreme suspension travel and heavy torque reaction. The Rennsport engine was developed nearly 60 years ago, they didn't make much after that for racing than to sell parts (in fact you had to give old ones back) to the chosen few.The factory rested on their laurels while the sidecar drivers and tuners like Busch developed the engines as much as possible, the chassis constructions were a pure private venture as well, so how much contributed BMW after all

I see what you mean, Renn. That is an ugly thing with a large beak on it.

Sarkozy (when still head honcho), at the end of a weekend with his not unattractive wife, responding to probing questions as to his courage from assembled journos: “The French President has balls, and let me assure you he’s been using them’.

I would not of stood there!! that looked to close, reminds me of a fairly well known American actor (Vic Morrow) & a child actor who was killed by a helicoptor while filming The Twilight Zone film in the mid 80,s.

Phil, apparently this one is tailor made for you! As for me, not in this lifetime, or the next.........

now , I managed to watch all of that with no problem , as I didn't feel part of it , not many would like to part in this type of adventure , I reckon , sorry , definitely not something i'd consider .....................

You're right Renn, he's long gone and only old geezers like myself remember him. Freddie though was a top performer in his day. I was in Berlin over a new period and it was explained to me that its now traditional to show the sketch at that time on the telly. I think too that I once saw it on an Air Berlin flight. I wonder why he's so popular over there, and why at New Year?

Yep, it's on the telly on New Year's Eve since '72, there are stations which repeat it again and again that day. The phrase ' same procedure as every year' puts here a smile on many faces. I assume it reflects our stereotype of British society (eccentricity, keeping a stiff upper lip, pragmatism and all that stuff), it's as bizarre as the perception that Germans wear leather trousers and drink beer out of 1 litre mugs all the time.Why on New Year? No idea...

Ah, that accounts for the weird looks I had when wandering around the Tiergarten in lederhosen.

I enjoyed watching some of the Olympics, particular since we did rather well. But, WTF was that closing ceremony all about? How do a load of has been pop singers and extremely noisy and irritating rappers, represent us, our history, or who we are?

Am I alone in being disturbed by the hostility shown towards Julian Assange, particularly it seems in Britain. What's driving this I wonder?

USA administrations (CIA & Millitary) in the land of the free & freedom of speech, are not to happy when they are discovered having been a "little" dishonest in their dealings with the rest of the World re Iraq, Libya & Iran who just so happen to have the biggest oil reserves, funny how these "charges" against Assange appeared so quickly after the Wikileaks were published.So the dog (USA) barks & the tail (UK) does what it is told.

Yes, Obama phoned Dave last night to tell us what our position on Syria now is.
